Try another player to isolate the problem .

Ace DivX Player is the best Windows Media Player replacement program, it plays movie and music in formats including DivX, AVI, MPEG, WMV, ASF, MP3, CD and Video-CD.
What Ace DivX Player offers you is what a handy movie and music player really should does: Powerful Playlist, Freely resize movie window and full-screen playback with on
screen controls.

Ace DivX Player doesnīt contact the Internet each time you load and play a file. Itīs safe!
